Windows XP/98 dual booting

[bellamy_luke]

Hi - I didn't read up before hand and have installed XP on the same
partition as a previous windows 98 partition. I thought it would just
work around it and come up with the dual boot options.

Now my problem is that it only boots to XP now and the previous 98
install had the users old settings and setup they wish to revert to
every now and again. So just formatting and starting from scratch is
not really an option.

Is there an easy way for me to get dual booting happening here? I'm
thinking I will have to repair the 98 OS first just to get back to
booting to Win98 only and then install a 2nd hard drive for XP.

Any better ideas?

Check in Add/Remove programs if the old system was saved.
If you didn't save the information or make a backup, then getting you Win 98
information back is not an option.
